FAQs

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?There is a bus stop directly outside the Centre on Old York Road. The Centre is located on a residential street and looks like any other house: look for the 'Katharine’s Place' wooden plaque sign and bright green letterbox out front. Parking is available in the brick driveway and in front of the hedge, also on the upper gravel level (to the right of the house) and along the street. Overflow parking can be found down the gravel driveway to the immediate left of the house (look for the No Thoroughfare sign); please drive down here slowly.

What should I bring to the event?Bring an exercise book and pen or pencil, and water bottle if desired. Laptops/tablets also welcome.

Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?Phone the KSP Writers' Centre office 08 9294 1872 or email kspf@iinet.net.au
